I use the attached script to open the mail I'm reading in Mutt in Emacs
so that I can link to it in my Org mode notes, etc. You could write a
function that calls the required capture templates and use it in place
of the call to notmuch-show. Probably you also want to remove the GNU
Screen related stuff (call to screen select and the check for $STY).
Hope this helps,

Loading a notmuch email buffer in Emacs from the command line
Hi, Is there a way (e.g. with emacsclient) to load up a particular email thread or email message buffer from the command line? Also, for those familiar with Org mode, I'd like to do something similar: Suppose I have the ID of an email. Can I, from the command line, launch a capture template with a prepopulated link to the notmuch message? The rationale: I'd like to switch to using alot for reading emails as opposed to the Emacs interface. However, there will be times where I'd like to make Org mode notes about an email or view it within Emacs. So I'd like to set up a command from alot to open it in Emacs. -- A neutrino walks into a bar. The bartender asks him if he wants anything to drink.
